They had 37 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 3: to get an expansion draft going. And one of the 38 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: guys they got in that expansion draft Kylee Wong. He 39 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 3: had been a linebacker for the Vikings started in Minnesota 40 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 3: every game, all sixteen of them in two thousand and 41 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: two thousand and one, and a couple of years before that, 42 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 3: he was a rookie on that nineteen ninety eight squad 43 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 3: that was really one of the best teams in the 44 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 3: history of the game. They didn't win the Super Bowl, 45 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 3: but they were awesome. Kylie was part of an ensemble 46 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: of defensive veterans who came in and were taken guys 47 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 3: who had been there and done that in the NFL, 48 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: And then he came to Houston and was part of 49 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: a defense in two thousand and two, and in those 50 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 3: early days that was really darn good. Now, on the 51 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 3: offensive side of the ball, there were a lot of rookies, 52 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 3: there were a lot of growing pains, and that defense 53 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 3: kind of I don't want to say it gets forgotten, 54 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 3: but it probably doesn't get enough due for being a 55 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 3: really good unit. But he was one of the main 56 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 3: guys on it. He started every game for this franchise 57 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: the first couple of years it existed, and he was 58 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: a leader. You'd see him on the news talking with 59 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 3: the media and in his post playing days. He's been 60 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: great as far as analysis, sharing his opinions, and I 61 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: would contend he needs to be doing it more. I 62 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: wish we'd have him around a whole lot more. He's 63 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: one of my favorite Texans to talk with. He played 64 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 3: his college ball at Stanford, grew up in the Pacific Northwest. 65 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: He's a fascinating dude. So where are they now? Takes 66 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 3: its turn with Kylie Wong. Kylie, I like your setup 67 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 3: behind you. Let's start things off with a bank. Where 68 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 3: are you now? And what are you doing? 69 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 4: Well? I realized, you know, after I retired, me and 70 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 4: my wife, we have the most expensive move in the 71 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 4: history of moves, because we moved out to California for 72 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 4: nine months and then moved back because we realized, you 73 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 4: know what, Houston is a really good place to raise 74 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 4: a family. This is a great city to be a 75 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 4: part of. We had a lot. We have so many 76 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 4: friends and family that our friends that became family that 77 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 4: live here. We actually have no family here except we 78 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 4: We kind of have one little little surprise we'll drop 79 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 4: in the second. But uh but yeah, and we moved back, 80 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 4: so yeah, so it was a it was a lot 81 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 4: of effort, it was all. It was very expensive. But 82 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 4: we moved to California nine months and we've been here 83 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 4: ever since then since uh what is it two thousand 84 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 4: and nine? 85 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that's when. Uh, that's when I kind of 86 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 3: moved home from love of Texas. So my yeah, you 87 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: and you and me same thing basically right. 88 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely sorry about that. I forgot to. 89 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: Oh I didn't notice that I did. You could have 90 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: gotten away, would would never have noticed. So you have 91 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: come on Texans extra points a bunch. It's always a 92 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 3: good show when you're on. I always love hearing what 93 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: you got to say. When you started with the Texans, 94 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 3: this is I'm gonna randomly scatter shoot from here and there. 95 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 3: You Seth Payne, Corey Bradford and a few others. You 96 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 3: always seem to be the guys that talked to the media. 97 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 3: The media would go to and get your your your 98 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 3: your opinions on things. Whatever Seth talked, he would kind 99 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 3: of he would talk in a golf voice because I 100 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 3: think he was scared of you. Would you would have, 101 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 3: you know, get going. But I talked with Seth about this, 102 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 3: He's like, I did that? 103 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 4: Uh? 104 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 3: And what's it like when you think about it's been 105 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 3: twenty plus years now since you were in Houston, Texans 106 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: starting out, starting this franchise. What's that? How odd a 107 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 3: situation was that for you? 108 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 4: It was it was very you know odd, right, just 109 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 4: kind of with no roots, right, because you know, the 110 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 4: Texas and the Oilers were amazing, right, the oilers and 111 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 4: the fans, and you know, we got some of them. 112 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 4: We didn't necessarily always get all of them right off 113 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 4: the bat, but it was but the city was, you know, 114 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 4: it was electric, right. It was very fun, It was 115 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 4: very welcoming. It was a blast. There was clearly some 116 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 4: growing pains in the in the in being a new franchise, 117 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 4: which is which is normal, but you know, we were 118 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,119 Speaker 4: so well embraced, so you know, I enjoyed my time, 119 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 4: you know, especially the inaugural season. You know, I mean 120 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 4: it was a blast. You couldn't ask for anything better, right, 121 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 4: just because of the way the city responded to having 122 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 4: football back, you know in Houston, and having a pro 123 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 4: team that they could get behind, and they were. The 124 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 4: stadium was, you know, it was electric. I mean, there 125 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 4: was no doubt about it. It was hard to walk 126 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 4: into a game and not be really excited. The way 127 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 4: the fans were kind of going crazy. 128 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: With the Kylie Wong a little where are they now 129 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 2: with my man, Drew Doorden. 130 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, And you're a positive guy, You're an optimistic guy, 131 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,119 Speaker 3: You're an exciting guy. Was it just amped up because 132 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 3: of kind of that pent up frustration of football was 133 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 3: gone for a few years. And really before they left 134 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 3: there was kind of like a three year span where 135 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: they were not very good or they were kind of 136 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: coming out of it. It had been really a decade 137 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: almost since they were good. Ninety three was the last 138 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 3: good oiler seam. That was the last year of good 139 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 3: football in the city. And you guys, you guys bring 140 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 3: it back. Like you said, there's some times defensively though, 141 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 3: y'all are good. I mean, y'all were really good right 142 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 3: off the bat. 143 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 4: We were really good, and it's a shame that we 144 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 4: didn't get to have the opportunity to, you know, show 145 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 4: as you know, how strong we were because i mean 146 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 4: we had some dudes on there and Don Caper's when 147 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 4: he first came and Charlie Castler. I mean, that's how 148 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 4: they thought about it, like, we know we're going to 149 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 4: have a young offense. We know we need to have 150 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 4: a pretty veteran defense. That defense and kind of the 151 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 4: IQ of that defense, you know, it's very similar to 152 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 4: kind of how you think of a Belichick defense, right. 153 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 4: It was kind of a lot of vets that would 154 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 4: come in you had, you know, guys that could do 155 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 4: a lot of different things, and we would customize our 156 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 4: game plans or we would do things, you know, buy matchups, 157 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 4: and it was you know, it was a lot of 158 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 4: fun to be able to do that. And I wish 159 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 4: we would have more opportunities for past rushing because I 160 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 4: don't think you got to see that the greatness of 161 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 4: the pass rushers that we had on that team. You know, 162 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 4: G Funk and you know, I mean Seth could actually 163 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 4: rush the passer incredibly. 164 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 3: Well listen, listen, we got a lot of young people 165 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: that are tuning in and watching who is G Funk? 166 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: Both the original and the one you're referring to. 167 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 4: So well, we don't have to go that far back 168 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 4: for the original. But Gary Walker was you know, he 169 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 4: came over from from Jacksonville, was a you know, Pro 170 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 4: Bowl player over there. It was a Pro Bowl player. 171 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 3: For us as well on the interior. 172 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 4: Alignment, and you know, as a three technique, as a five. 173 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 4: I mean, this guy could rush the past or like 174 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 4: nobody's business. And so you know, and he had great years. 175 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, he still made the Pro Bowl. 176 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 4: You had Aaron Glenn, you had Marcus Tolman on the outside. 177 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 4: These were two just lockdown corners that were you know, 178 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 4: incredibly in front. So it was it was a fun 179 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 4: Jamie Sharper obviously set pain in the middle. You know you, 180 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 4: I mean we. 181 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 3: Had a squat between two thousand. I'm good at your 182 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 3: stat sheet right here between two thousand when you were 183 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 3: a Viking two thousand and two thousand and one. You're 184 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 3: a Viking. The first three years of the Texans, that 185 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 3: five year span, you started every single game in the NFL. Now, listen, 186 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 3: it's tough to start one game in the NFL. It's 187 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: tough to go through a season and not miss a 188 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 3: game in the NFL. You did it five straight years. 189 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 3: I mean you talk about that, that's a high quality 190 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 3: defensive guys coming together, getting thrown together immediately. And you 191 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 3: talk about the pass rush not getting to do as much. 192 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 3: Part of that is because the team was trailing, I 193 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 3: take it, and other teams were kind of able to 194 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 3: just run the ball and burn clock in the second half. Yes, no, 195 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 3: so yeah, that's exactly it. 196 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 4: Right, Like you know, pass rush is you know, especially 197 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 4: in those days, right, the game the game is very 198 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 4: different now, yeah, you know for us back in the day, 199 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 4: you know, third and three was one of those option downs. 200 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 4: It could be a run, it could be a pass. 201 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 4: Third and one in the NFL now is pretty much 202 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 4: probably about eighty five percent pass. 203 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 3: Wow. 204 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 4: Right, you know, it's just you know, just the whole thing. 205 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 4: So you know, third and two, third and one, it 206 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 4: was definitely going to be a run, and so you know, 207 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 4: you just didn't see as many opportunities kind of do 208 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 4: what we what all pass rushlers love to do, which 209 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 4: is pin your ears back and go get the quarterback 210 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 4: and so you know, but but nevertheless, it was still 211 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 4: you know, it was it was we were just all 212 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 4: working together to collectively try to do our best to 213 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 4: win each and every game. 214 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: You listened to Kylie wong Una where are they now 215 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: with Drew Dorty. 216 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 3: So take me back, you grow up in the Northwest? 217 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 3: What was high school like?

Talk about 222 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 3: or tell us about what it was like growing up 223 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 3: where you grew up and then choosing to go to Stanford. 224 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, so my father, so I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, 225 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 4: and you know, my father was a Duck. He played 226 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 4: for the Duck. So he came from Hawaii and played 227 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 4: for the Duck. Played with Bobby Green, which is a 228 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 4: modern shod played during the time of OJ Simpson when 229 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 4: he was at s C. You know, so that was 230 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 4: kind of where he you know, down Dan Fouts came in, 231 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 4: you know, a little bit after, you know, my dad 232 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 4: or quarterback. Yeah, and so you know, at a very 233 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 4: early age, you know, I tended to be one of 234 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 4: the bigger guys. You know, especially in Eugene, Oregon. It 235 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 4: would cut in Houston, Texas. Just to be very clear, 236 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 4: because these kids and these athletes here, it's just they're freaks. 237 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 4: Everybody's just the athleticism has grown so much. But you know, 238 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 4: I was, I was a running guy, and that's kind 239 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 4: of what I was recruited on. You know. So I was, 240 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 4: you know, two thirty five six ' two, and I 241 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 4: was dotting the I which means we ran eye formation. 242 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 4: And I was the tailback and then I had my 243 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 4: full back who was one hundred and eighty five pounds, 244 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 4: probably had two guards that were one hundred and eighty 245 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 4: five pounds, Right, So I was pretty big on the field, 246 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 4: and you know that's where you know, that's where I 247 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 4: got a lot of notariding. So a lot of a 248 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 4: lot of teams were recruiting me to play running back 249 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 4: in college, assuming that that's at that time, that's what 250 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 4: they thought kids wanted to hear, right, who grew up? 251 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 4: And although I loved Sweetness, which is you know, Walter Payton, 252 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 4: it was Lawrence Taylor who I just thought was the 253 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 4: most dynamic, just the best football player that just had 254 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: ever played the game. And so I wanted to be 255 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 4: a defensive I want to be an outside linebacker, defensive ends, 256 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 4: some type of pass rusher and and and yeah, so 257 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 4: that was kind of my big thing, my big sticking point. 258 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 4: Unlike everybody else who went was recruited at that time, 259 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 4: who wanted to be a running back, adamant that I 260 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 4: wanted to be a defensive player. Right. I felt like 261 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 4: a sack was so much more exciting than a touchdown. 262 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 3: That is rare man. Most Yeah, most kids are wanting 263 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 3: the ball in their hands, wanting to score, and you're 264 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: the shoe. 265 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 4: And it was funny because you know when you go 266 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 4: into you know, when I went to Stanford and I think, 267 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 4: you know, Bill Walsh recruited me. 268 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 3: There I question a second, but yeah. 269 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, amazing guy, amazing teacher. So Bill Walsh recruited me. 270 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 4: So we had the second highest ranked class in the country, 271 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 4: so we were behind Florida State, you know, for the 272 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 4: last two years. And I would say, I came in 273 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 4: and everybody, five of my friends that I ended up 274 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 4: playing with that all kind of had a little bit 275 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 4: of time in the league. They all came in as 276 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 4: running backs. So you come in as a you know, 277 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 4: this is just you know, and it's it's freshman camp, right, 278 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 4: kind of very similar like rookie camp. It's freshman camp, 279 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 4: and you go in and you just notice that everybody's 280 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 4: over on the offensive side of the ball except for 281 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 4: me a couple other guys, right, everybody else is an 282 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 4: offensive player, and they're just humoring them because they got 283 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 4: recruited as running backs. And then you know, they go 284 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 4: two days and they're you know, you're like, man, there's 285 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 4: a lot of lines in this running back line or whatever, 286 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 4: and then coach taps them like hey, chill or a draftee. 287 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 4: We want to see you over here on the defense 288 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 4: now that you know, with the Vets come back. And 289 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 4: all five of my good friends that were all started 290 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 4: as running backs, they were all converted to defensive players, 291 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 4: and you know, did did very well. One of them 292 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 4: actually had a fourteen year career. One of them had, 293 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 4: you know, a three year career that you know ended 294 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 4: an injury in the NFL. 295 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 3: And so but it was a good switch for the Yeah, 296 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 3: no doubts. So I worked in Lubbock for a few years, 297 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 3: hosted Mike Leach's TV show, and he always used to say, 298 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 3: you know, people would kind of say, oh, it's amazing 299 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 3: that guy was a running back and they're talking about 300 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 3: a nose tackle or a linebacker or a tight end. 301 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, well, generally most of these guys are 302 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 3: the best players, and they want to get the ball 303 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 3: in the best player's hands. So who gets the ball 304 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 3: the running back. So he's a little matter of fact 305 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 3: about it, But it makes sense, you know what I mean, 306 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 3: It's it makes sense Bill Walsh, Uh huh. I mean, 307 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 3: like they talk about trees, and his tree is a big, 308 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 3: bountiful one with a lot of branches. What are some 309 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 3: of the two or three things that you gained the 310 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 3: most from being around that guy? And I know he 311 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 3: was you know, he's a CEO and all that stuff. 312 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 3: But still, I imagine you're smart. You are a smart guy. 313 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 3: Imagine you picked up quite a bit from him. 314 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I mean one of the coolest things about 315 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 4: about Bill, and Tyrone continued, it was for us in May. 316 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 4: He was really about, you know, building the person, and 317 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 4: very similar to I don't know if you know anything 318 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 4: about rugby and the All Blacks and that organization, but 319 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 4: they're the you know, they're the winningest organization in the 320 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 4: history of all organizations. 321 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 3: Right. 322 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 4: I think their winning rate is like eighty three percent 323 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 4: or something. Don't quote me on exactly what it is, 324 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 4: but it's over the test of time. And their number 325 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 4: one motto is a better person makes it better All 326 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 4: Black Right. And so that's what the month of May, 327 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 4: which was, you know, right as you're kind of preparing 328 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 4: for finals, you're trying to you know kind of you know, 329 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 4: finish out your class. After you know, camp is done, 330 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 4: spring spring training is done. He would devote it to 331 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 4: personal development, so we would learn communication, we would learn etiquette, 332 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 4: we would have to dress up in suits and sit 333 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 4: down and have meals. We would have team building events 334 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 4: around around leadership, and it was always about this idea 335 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 4: that you know, better people, if he develops better people 336 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 4: on his team, he will have a better team on 337 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 4: the field. And and I think you know that is 338 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 4: that is Bill Walsh, and you see his coaching tree 339 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 4: and it still is a lot. In fact, you can 340 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 4: argue that it went away the way the NFL was 341 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 4: being played kind of went away from the West Coast, 342 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 4: the Bill Walsh type system, and now it is back 343 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 4: in probably what every team is trying to replicate, you know, 344 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 4: with some nuances of you know, a more athletic quarterback. 345 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 4: But this is all what we're seeing our West Coast 346 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 4: offenses again. 347 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 3: We're seeing it here their derivation of of you know, 348 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 3: Shanahan through Kubiak through Shanahan. Yeah, it's that's a Bill Walsh. 349 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 4: That's his true Yeah. 350 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: You listen to Kylie Wong unaware of they now with Drew. 351 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 3: Doerty and knowing you and following you over the last 352 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 3: twenty years, it's clear you that stuck with you. I mean, 353 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 3: you're a curious guy. You do many things and you. Yeah, 354 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 3: that that's uh, that's cool. That's stuck with you and 355 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 3: you've you've kept that going. 356 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 4: I am I am an overly curious guy. And it's 357 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 4: funny because you know the one thing about coaching curious 358 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 4: guys is you sometimes drive your coaches crazy. 359 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 3: Right, Because which coaches are you driving crazy? 360 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 4: I can't tell you the number of times that they're like, 361 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 4: I didn't want to just know how to do something. 362 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 4: I always had to know why, right, So, like whether 363 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 4: it was vig Fangio or or boat Fazio, right, you know, 364 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, so you're calling you're calling this 365 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 4: fire zone blitz on second and thirteen. Why right? And 366 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 4: they're like, just run the play and I'm like. 367 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 3: No, I don't understand why. 368 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 4: And they're like, we're expecting draw screen and I'm like, oh, okay, 369 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 4: that makes sense, you know. So once you then understand, like, oh, 370 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 4: I am he's calling this play in this situation because 371 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 4: he's expecting to see one of these based off of 372 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 4: all the countless hours of tendencies he's been studying. Yeah, 373 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 4: now I feel like I could do my job better. 374 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 4: But it was never just how to do it. I 375 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 4: always had to know coachy. 376 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 3: It's logical on your end. Yeah, I mean yeah, it 377 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 3: gives you an extra bit of data. Yeah. Yeah, you 378 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 3: have coached and I'm ping pong and all over it. 379 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 3: You have coached. Some of my some of my favorite 380 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 3: stories that you've told were when you were coaching junior 381 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 3: high maybe it was even elementary school football. What did 382 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 3: you gain the most as a person being a coach 383 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 3: in youth sports, especially in a sport that you were 384 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 3: phenomenal at. 385 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 5: You know, one, you realize, oh, I'm not a very 386 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 5: good coach at some of the some levels right there 387 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 5: are everybody is a better coach at various levels. 388 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 4: And you know, you take you know, some of the 389 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 4: the top coaches in the NFL and you take them 390 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 4: down the pebe level, and I'm not saying they can't 391 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 4: do it, but they forget.

You know, route combinations that uh, Peyton Manning 415 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 4: used to run at us all day long, you know. 416 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 3: So I just remember one time you were at your 417 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 3: wits end because you were trying to teach something fairly 418 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 3: intricate like that. Yeah, And everything just got derailed because 419 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 3: one of your players he either got sweat in his 420 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,239 Speaker 3: eyes or sunscreen in his eyes, and it just like 421 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 3: it was like something lobb five hand grenades into the 422 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 3: practice and it was just over. It was like. 423 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 4: One of my fits. You're exactly right like it was, 424 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 4: you know, and I'm not trying to but it was 425 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 4: a private school, right, so I'm not saying that there's 426 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 4: anything different. 427 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: My children went to Privy School, and every age group 428 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 3: has its challengees. 429 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and and and so you know, one of 430 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 6: my favorite memories that I ever have was I'm running 431 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 6: one one drill right because I believe in schedules very 432 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 6: similar to the NFL, Like we're going to everything is 433 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 6: going to be scheduled. 434 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 4: We're going to run on time, we're going to move 435 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 4: through here, we're going to get you out of here. 436 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 4: We're going to be very efficient. And I and you know, 437 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 4: we just got done conditioning. I love running the kids first. 438 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 4: So we do conditioning at the beginning because I find 439 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 4: that once you get tired, they have less energy and 440 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 4: they're not goofing out as much. Right. Conditioning that we 441 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 4: do a couple of drills that are conditioning bas drills 442 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 4: and then I tell them to go get water. So 443 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 4: the very first day I'm doing that, I'm setting up 444 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 4: my next drill, and I think, you're I go to 445 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 4: get water, right, Like, what do you do? That means 446 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 4: you go over to get your gatorade bottle and take 447 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 4: a score of it, and you come back and finished 448 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 4: set on my drone. Where are these kids? And I 449 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 4: looked over and they're in the bleachers. Some of them 450 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 4: had their shoes off. I mean it looked like they 451 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 4: had been working, you know, for four straight hours roofing, 452 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: you know, on top like set in tar because they're 453 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 4: laid back. They got there, they had a full on 454 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 4: like they were taking a smoke break, you know what 455 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 4: I mean. Like it was one of the funniest things 456 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 4: that I just couldn't believe it. And then that's. 457 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 3: Better. 458 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I better articulate my expectations a little bit more. 459 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 3: That's wonderful, man. I love that. I love that. So 460 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 3: you leave Stanford m and you immediately join one of 461 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 3: the greatest teams of all time. What was that season? Like? 462 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 3: Tell me about the nineteen ninety eight Vikings. 463 00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 4: It was unbelievable. It was magical for anyone who doesn't 464 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 4: know that was That was year we were fifteen and one. 465 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 4: We you know, that was you know, I was drafted 466 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 4: along with Randy Moss, who is you know, a guy 467 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 4: named Matt Burke who you know won unbelievable center. And 468 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 4: it felt as though the NFL was so easy, right, 469 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 4: Like I literally remember thinking like, dude, we're seven and 470 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 4: oh we haven't even been close. I mean, the veterans 471 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 4: on that team would play Chris Carter and Randall McDaniel 472 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 4: and John Randall, well not Jared Randall because he wanted 473 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 4: more sacks, but Chris Carter and random McDaniel. They would 474 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 4: play still to not have to play in the fourth quarter. 475 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 4: That's how dominant we were, right like they were. They 476 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 4: were trying to be like, yo, if we get a 477 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 4: twenty four point lead, we don't have to we can 478 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 4: come out of the game and we'll watch all the 479 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 4: second stream guys play.

I've been thinking about this 558 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 2: fletch real quick on the World Cup and then we'll 559 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 2: get to obviously what we got going on. I'm trying 560 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 2: to imagine what the event will be like when there's 561 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: a World Cup match here, and what event we've had 562 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: in here that it will match like the Super Bowl. 563 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 2: We couldn't even get within like a half mile the stadium. 564 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 2: The security was just absolutely absurd. I got a feeling 565 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: World Cup events are gonna be kind of like that, 566 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 2: especially for us of the building. But it's gonna have 567 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 2: kind of that fervor I would imagine, maybe more. I 568 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 2: don't know, maybe we've never seen anything or maybe I've 569 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 2: never seen anything like this that I'm so excited to 570 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 2: see those matches here. 571 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 7: I think it's the latter, I really do. 572 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 8: I mean, the World Cup is the largest sporting event 573 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 8: in the world, and you know, this venue in RG 574 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 8: Stadium in Houston has been a great host to so 575 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 8: many major global international soccer events. Sorry, I should say 576 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 8: global events, from Super Bowls to Men's Final Four. We've 577 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 8: got the college football Playoff National Championship. 578 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 7: Game coming in January. 579 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 8: But the FIFA World Cup really is the biggest sporting 580 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 8: event in the world, and I think it's gonna take 581 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 8: every bit of those three years to really get prepared. 582 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 7: But I know as a community we're ready. 583 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 8: We've got a tremendous team that's collaborating around making sure 584 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 8: that that experience is truly as good as any that 585 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 8: we've ever had. And it's just gonna be a level 586 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 8: of excitement that I don't think anybody here. 587 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 7: Really truly will appreciate until it comes. But we're excited 588 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:27,479 Speaker 7: for it. 589 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I imagine what it's gonna be like. It's 590 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 2: probably gonna be on that, there's no question about that. 591 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,959 Speaker 2: All Right, let's talk about soccer the I might say 592 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 2: end of the summer, but as we move on into July, 593 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 2: the event that you have coming here. How can people 594 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 2: get tickets? Getting real in here? I mean, I'm pumped 595 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 2: for this. I mean last year you had Man City, 596 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 2: which is the best that could be because that's my squad. 597 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 2: One another Premier League Championship of course, okay, good to one. 598 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 2: Moving on though is gonna kill me. 599 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: But that said, soccer in July here is always special. 600 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, Soccer champions Tour is coming to NRG 601 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 8: Stadium July twenty sixth.

Should be a really spectacular event, building 604 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 8: off of last year's Copad a lone star event, which, 605 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 8: as you mentioned, Johnny, Man City and Club America participated in. 606 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 8: I did mention to our friends at Man City and 607 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 8: obviously you're a fan, so you know this what a 608 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 8: spectacular year they had win in the Treble, one of 609 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 8: only a handful of teams in Europe to ever do 610 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 8: that that. Coincidentally, they did start that journey right here, 611 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 8: That's Houston they did, and so started here again this year. 612 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 8: We would love for them to think keep that in 613 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 8: mind for future events, and they laughed about it, but 614 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 8: the reality is that soccer, you know, is front and 615 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 8: center in the minds of American sporting community, especially as 616 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 8: we lead up to the aforementioned FIFA World Cup. This 617 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 8: is going to be a spectacular showcase. LSSE dot net 618 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 8: or ticketmaster dot com, you can get your tickets.

When you get those type of 621 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 8: teams over here in the US, it is a business 622 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 8: trip for them. They are there preparing for their preseasons, 623 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 8: much like NFL teams, you know, may go to places 624 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 8: like the Greenbrier to prepare for their seasons ahead or 625 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 8: play preseason games. So there's a football side of this, 626 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 8: there's no doubt, but for fans to be able to 627 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 8: interact with and front and center see their teams here 628 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 8: in the US each and every year something that the 629 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 8: Soccer Champions Tour is really all about, something that we 630 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 8: at Lone Star Sports Entertainment have been have been involved in, 631 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 8: certainly in this community to ensure that the biggest, the 632 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 8: best are here and fans get a chance to participate. 633 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 8: So this one I'm super excited about. Both of these 634 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 8: teams have been here in recent years. United last year 635 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 8: in twenty seventeen against Manchester City in the first ever 636 00:32:54,840 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 8: Darby outside of the UK. Madrid twenty nineteen played against 637 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 8: Bayern Munich here at NRG Stadium, So the teams have 638 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,239 Speaker 8: some familiarity, but for us, for the fans here, it's 639 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 8: really exciting to be able to see these type of 640 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 8: teams in our building, in our market, experiencing our culture 641 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 8: and we're looking forward to a huge night come July 642 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 8: twenty sixth, and it just adds to the international flare 643 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 8: of what you're seeing this summer with the events that 644 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 8: we have coming in NRG Stadium. 645 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no question, and I hope that Real Madrid 646 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 2: takes care of business if. 647 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. 648 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 2: Over rooting interest, yes see, I do have a rooting interest, 649 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 2: but it's not a for rooting interest like last year. 650 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: It's an against rooting interest. That's okay. 651 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 2: Man United hasn't won anything since Pep has been with 652 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 2: man City. By the way, I saw that Man City's 653 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 2: closest assistant. They call their assistance different, like a different name. 654 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 2: He just took over at Austin FC. It's essentially their 655 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 2: general manager. Yeah, that's wow. That was really cool. So 656 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 2: you Look at must have loved Texas enough that he 657 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 2: decided to come back. 658 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 8: Look that has to be part of it. But you 659 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 8: look at the obviously the global appeal of soccer as 660 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 8: a whole and taking it to another level with the 661 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 8: announcement earlier this summer MESSI coming to the US and 662 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 8: the MLS.
